The Spanish Quarter originated back in the 1600s; and to this
day, many of the
old buildings are still intact. It was like walking back into history with
many of the
shop keepers dressed in period clothing. The Spanish language is still spoken
among the locals.
The aroma of fudge from the fudge factory shop swept
throughout the street, which
made it entirely impossible to pass by without stopping in for a treat. Beautiful craft
shops and art
museums allowed us to better understand the history of the city. The
Spanish
Quarter is equally impressive at night, with the many lights highlighting the
architecture
and trees.
